Squash & Pumpkin: #SquashGoals

“This lively fall story about friendship and collaboration will boost children’s feelings of empathy… . The cheery, dynamic illustrations, bursting with bright autumnal colors and personable, googly-eyed characters, are delightful… . A charming story to fall into in autumn or any season; it might even tempt kids to try acorn squash.“—Kirkus”A clever fall read. Readers will enjoy Acorn Squash’s ingenuity when he tries to sell ­people on squash jerky or Squilk, a new squash milk. Children will recognize feelings of jealousy when Pumpkin takes center stage but also appreciate how the two main characters recognize that friendship is more important than fame. This fall-themed story of friendship is bursting with puns and ­adorable, big-eyed vegetables.“—School Library Journal
